The Advantages of Chip Seals

Tar and chip has been used for paving projects for hundreds of years, and was the most common way roads were constructed. A tar and chip driveway or road is highly customizable, low-maintenance, provides good traction, and is budget-friendly. Chip seal is often installed over existing pavement to correct issues like raveling, and cracks in the asphalt. It refreshes your asphalt driveway, parking lot, or road without needing to tear out the base, and is a less expensive process than asphalt resurfacing.

Tar and chip paving has a rough surface texture from the final step where the stone chips are laid on top of the hot liquid asphalt. There is a variety of options you can choose for this final layer. Thanks to the stones rolled in the liquid asphalt, chip seal provides better surface traction than other paving options. It is an ideal option for areas that receive frequent rain and inclement weather.
